Michael Gregory is at it again, and it is wonderful. The new autotune the news is out, and it’s the best since no 2. Let me know in the comments if you’d enjoy more reposts of other folks content.
The social recommendation system Hunch.com, allows you to build expert systems (primitive artificial intelligences really) to suggest products, services or solutions to everyday problems. By entering a series of questions, and suggesting a collection of solutions, users can build miniature problem solvers, answering questions like ‘What martial art should I learn?’ or ‘Which contraceptive is [...]
Ah James Joyce, grandfather of modernism and Ireland’s leading literary figure. He of Ulysses, Dubliners, Finnegan’s Wake, and other books you’ll never read. You are perhaps familiar with Joyce’s literary interest in the rude physicality of the human form, and the voracious lasciviousness of man’s libidinous urges, but were you aware of the tendency towards [...]
Ah, the genius of IMDB, or to be more specific, the ingenius trolling which goes on on the fora of the world famous film database. Everybody loves a good troll, a subtle, ideally undetectably ironic, undermining of the principles of sanity and civil discourse, for the purposes of cruel entertainment. A good troll does not [...]
Are you tired of wiping spit off your face? Tired of simultaneously trying to work out if you can claim it as a kiss whilst wondering what caused such offence? To answer your first question, no you can’t, the exchange of bodily fluid was very much a one way transaction. To answer your second question, [...]
Coilhouse Magazine have linked to a fascinating documentary about gay Nazi’s – the German subculture of far right homosexual men.

There is a long and somewhat, momentarily, brilliant history of surreal and absurd music videos, featuring outlandish costumes and nonsensical action – think New Order, Bowie and the mighty live shows of Of Montreal. This hunk of shite, however, is just plain dreadful. Low-lights include [...]
The internerd has shat from its sticky fetid mung goblet many a monument to idiocy, from the comic fonted film whinings of a ginger so fat he’s crippled, to the linguistically challenged thievery of the 419 artiste, that crafty devil lounging in a subtropical cybercafe munching on pineapple stir fry and Kalashnikoving steel jacketed hurrahs [...]
The horrors of this piece of vintage exploitation almost decry description. In the senselessly disturbing introduction, Ron Jeremy uses some sort of patented come hither motion to lure a loping hippy simpleton toward his small Eastern European car, lovingly tussling her long brown hair like an England fan in a Sao Paulo topless bar. Apparently [...]
Motown takes on the social issues of the day and wins! well, drugs, racism, violence and the war in Vietnam are no longer a problem- they’re the main inspirations for Hollywood. this is often sited as one of the best albums of all time and I’d say it was really up there. like it matters [...]
